stockholders of record as of June&nbsp;3, 2019 (&#147;Record Date Stockholders&#148;) in connection with its 2019 Annual Meeting, urging Record Date Stockholders to cast their votes on the proposals described in the Company&#146;s Definitive Proxy
Statement on Schedule 14A (the &#147;Proxy Statement&#148;), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June&nbsp;14, 2019.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The text
of the letter is attached below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">July&nbsp;19, 2019 </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear
Fellow Stockholder: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are writing to remind you that the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Gladstone Investment Corporation (the
&#147;Company&#148;) is scheduled for Thursday, August&nbsp;1, 2019 at 11:00&nbsp;a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (&#147;Eastern Time&#148;). The 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be a completely &#147;virtual meeting.&#148; You will be able to
attend the meeting as well as vote and submit your questions during the live webcast of the meeting by visiting <U>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GAIN2019</U> and entering the company number and control number included on your proxy card or in
the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our records indicate that as of June&nbsp;3, 2019, the &#147;Record Date&#148; for the annual
meeting, you held shares of the Company and, therefore, you are entitled to vote on the matters as described in the Company&#146;s Definitive Proxy Statement (the &#147;Proxy Statement&#148;) and set forth on the proxy card attached thereto, which
were mailed to you and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) on June&nbsp;14, 2019.&nbsp;Our records indicate that we have not yet received your vote. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>REMEMBER:&nbsp;Your vote is important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be.&nbsp;Please take a moment to vote your shares. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For your convenience, a duplicate copy of the proxy card or voting instruction form containing your proxy control has been included with this mailing.
Stockholders with questions on how to vote are strongly encouraged to contact the Company&#146;s proxy solicitor, Georgeson LLC (&#147;Georgeson&#148;), <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">at&nbsp;(800)&nbsp;790-6795.</FONT> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Stockholders also may vote virtually during the live broadcast of the annual meeting on August&nbsp;1, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Please follow the
instructions for attending and voting at the annual meeting posted at <U>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GAIN2019</U>. You will need the company number and control number delineated on the enclosed proxy card. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In particular, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors encourages you to vote your shares in favor of all of the proposals described in the Proxy Statement and
set forth on the proxy card.&nbsp;Voting promptly will help reduce solicitation costs and will eliminate you receiving <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">follow-up</FONT> phone calls or mailings.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As the date of the annual meeting approaches, if we have not received your proxy you may receive a call from a representative of Georgeson reminding you to
exercise your right to vote. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Thank you in advance for your participation and your consideration in this extremely important matter. </P>
